knh39, once again thanks for your reply. Your help is appreciated!

Very encouraging to read your story. I'm in a somewhat similar position and will be applying shortly. I will let you know how it goes.

knh39, Thanks for your response. I would say it was mixed. I'll explain: 1st year: private university - 3.8 gpa 2nd: transferred to a state university. I had some personal problems and did horrible (about 2.0 gpa for about 3 semesters). After that I got my act together and maintained 3.3 or 3.4 or so for about 3 to 4 semesters (enough to be on the dean's list) Finally, towards the last year, my grades dipped once again. I think that's good advice you gave--talking about it in the application. How much did you talk about it in yours? I want to explain myself but don't want to do so much of it that it becomes the central focus of my personal statement. I don't want to give the wrong impression of sounding like a crybaby and depress the reader. In terms of numbers, how much of this kind of explaining in your personal statement would you roughly say you did? 20% or 1/2 of a page? Thanks for your advice, I appreciate it! PS> I will be filing my application this coming Jan/Feb for Fall admission, so I won't have the time to do an internship.

Where you able to check if the school received your documents before submitting your application? (The undergraduate admissions dept told me once I have submitted my application online only then will they be able to check if they have all my files.)

Hello, I'm a long time AN reader, first time poster. I haven't seen any discussion about spring 2013 entry, so I thought I would start. When are you guys going to apply? august or sept?
